Subject: Ram Memory

Shopping for a computer at Gateway (they custom configure). He suggested that
since windows 95 supported only 128 meg ram I was wasting money on requesting
256. I told him my apps software (chess programs, fritz etc) could use for sure
up to 184 meg ram on my current configured computer with  256 meg ram. This
value is what fritzy will setup when i tell it to play full strength. Is he
right ? is anything over 128 meg ram of little or no value because of windows ?
Even so is performance significantly improved by goiong to 256 meg ram ?
Thanks
